'Storybook Love' collects issues #11–18, delving into the complex romance between Bigby Wolf and Snow White while also introducing the villainous Adversary's forces. The collection balances character-driven drama with escalating fantasy conflict, cementing the series' reputation for mature, inventive storytelling.
In "Bag O' Bones," Bigby Wolf and Snow White return to Fabletown after a grim mission, only to face a startling revelation: Snow is pregnant with Bigby’s child. Meanwhile, Prince Charming and King Cole quietly divide the spoils of Bluebeard’s fortune. Written by Bill Willingham and illustrated by Mark Buckingham, with inks by Steve Leialoha, colors by Daniel Vozzo, and letters by Todd Klein, the issue’s haunting tone is matched by James Jean’s striking cover art.
In "A Sharp Operation," reporter Tommy Sharp inches dangerously close to uncovering the truth about Fableland, prompting a high-stakes effort to keep the secret safe. But when the cleanup begins, even the most careful plans can unravel.
In "The Mouse Police Never Sleep," the Mounted Police uncover that Bluebeard is hiding Goldilocks, setting off a tense chain of suspicion. With Bigby and Snow White caught in a web of betrayal, Bluebeard devises a deadly plan, convinced they’ve orchestrated the surveillance—though the truth behind the trap remains buried in secrets.
In "Into The Woods," tensions rise as Prince Charming’s hidden hand manipulates events from the shadows, turning allies into suspects. With Bluebeard orchestrating deadly schemes, Bigby and Snow White find themselves caught in a web of betrayal where trust is the first casualty.
In "Duel," Bigby and Snow flee through the woods as Goldilocks pursues them with relentless fury, while back in the city, Prince Charming issues a deadly challenge to Bluebeard—two parallel confrontations that test loyalty, fear, and the cost of standing your ground.
In "Road-Runner And Coyote Ugly," Bigby and Snow return to Fabletown after a mission that leaves them both shaken, only to face a new revelation: Snow is pregnant with Bigby’s child. Meanwhile, Prince Charming and King Cole quietly divide the spoils of Bluebeard’s fortune, their alliance as uneasy as it is convenient.
